OR, 

Mr. Holiday’s Flirtation. 

SCENE I.—Street scene. 

Enter , Mrs. Stone, l. 

Mrs S. It is just 1:40 by the town clock, and I know 
Miss Prime, the dress-maker, will disappoint me if I do not 
get there on time. 

Enter , Walter, r. 

i 

Wait. Hello ! auntie. What you doing here ? I saw 
you going by the office smiling at Mr. Holiday. 1,11 have 
to put the Governor onto that. 

Mrs S. Oh, Walter, I hope you won’t do that, (aside) 
Oh, my, if he’s found out, what shall I do? I shall offer 
him a present, (aloud) Walter, dear, I saw something 
down town I know you would like to have and I will buy 
it for you. 

Walt. Just listen. Oh, you can’t feed me on taffay. 
Well, what is it—books ? 

Mrs S. No. 

Walt. A bicycle or nothing ? 

Mrs S. A bicycle ! (surprised) Oh, gracious, that is 
asking too much ! 

Walt. All right; I’ll run and tell the Gov’nor. 

(runs l. 

Mrs S. Oh, come back ! I’ll get it for you if you will 
do one thing for me. Tell Mr. Holiday he can meet me at 
Miss Prime’s shop. Do you hear ? Now, don’t forget to 
tell him I will be there in about half an hour. (exit R. ( 


4 LOGKED IN A DRESS MAKERS ROOM 

T Yalt. All right; bicycle goes. No bicycle, I will squeal. 
Won’t I be a honey? I’ll ride through the street, and by 
Jim’s house. Oh, I’ll fix him! 

Enter , Mr. Holiday, l. 

Mr II. Oh, here you are. Why did you not mail those 
letters so they would go out to-night? 

Walt. I forgot. 

Mr II. Forgetting ruins many a young man. 

Walt, {aside) Oh, yes; that’s the reason you are so 
rich. 

Mr II. Will you do a favor for me ? 

Walt. That depends. What is it ? 

Mr H. Will you go to Miss Prime’s and see if Mrs. 
Stone is there ? 

Walt. Well, does the old man know that you meet his 
sugar plumb on the sly ? What will you give me ? 

Mr II. An increase of salary. 

Walt. How much ? 

Mr II Four dollars. 

Walt. All right; if you will go there now you will find 
ner. 

Mr II. Come, go along and watch. 

Walt. All right. Bicycle and four dollars makes me 
go. {exeunt r. 

Enter , Col. Stone, l. 

Col S. What in the devil is the matter with me to day? 
Stocks are going down and when I go home my wife is al¬ 
ways out, and everything all topsy-turvey. 1 must go to 
the dress-maker’s; I know I shall find her there. ( starts) 
Oh, my gracious, what a shock! I am suffering with 
heart disease. I didn’t know Miss Prime made dresses for 
men. Well, if it ain’t Holiday! I must investigate; 
things seem very mysterious. I’ll go to the bank first, and 
I supposs Henrietta will have tried on her dress by that 
time. I will call over. ' {exit R. 

SCENE II —Miss Prime’s dress making shop —Mrs. 

Stone and Miss Prime sitting on sofa. 

Miss P. Oh, Mrs. Stone, I almost gave you up. I 
thought sure you were not coming—and I was so sorry. 


L 0 OILED IN A DRESS-MAKERS ROOIL $ 

Mrs S. Oh, never fear for me. I never break engage¬ 
ments when I make them. My husband will be here 
in a little while and if he comes tell him to wait. He will 
come with the office boy. I will go into the other room and 
try on my dress. ( exeunt l. 

Enter . Mr. Holiday and Walter, r. 

Mr II. Well, if this isn’t a fine shop—and such lovely 
stairs to climb. 

Walt. Why, they have an elevator here. 

Mr II. It must have gotten out of reach. 

Walt. Yes; it was at the third story when we were at 
the first. Well, what do you want me to do ? 

Mr II. I want you to watch at the door, and if anyone 
comes, whistle so I can hear you, then, when you are 
through. I will give you a dollar for your trouble. Now 
don’t forget to whistle. 

Walt. All right. Five dollars and a bicycle! hoop-a- 
la ! {exit r. 

Mr II. I hope no one will come, for this is the only 
place I can see Mrs. Stone—or Henrietta. That sounds 
better. If the old Colonel knew I was courting his wife 
there would be some blood shed. 

Enter , Miss Prime, r. 

Mr II. Is Mrs. Stone here? 

Miss P. Your wife ? Yes; she is in the next room. 
Shall I call her? 

Mr II {aside) My wife! I suppose I must say yes. 
{aloud) Yes; if you please, {exit, Miss P., L.—Mr. H. 
(joes to door) No one is coming. I suppose business is 
dull with Miss Prime to-day. All the better; I can talk to 
my Henrietta all the longer. 

' Enter , Miss Prime and Mrs. Stone, l. 

Mrs S. I am glad to see you, dear. I have just had 
mv new dress tried on and ready to try another. Miss 
Prime, let me introduce you to my husband. 

(Miss P. bows 

Miss P. Your wife is having some nice dresses made 
and we are taking the most of our time on them to make 
them fashionable. 

Mr II Oh, yes, yes, she always has all the fine dresses

she wants. Mrs. S. motions at Mr. H. 

Miss P. I must finish the work, now. I will leave 
you here, Mrs. Stone. I will return presently. (exit l. 

Mr II. At last, my dear, we are left alone. 

Mrs S. Oh, Bob, I must tell you why I introduced you 
as my husband. If she knew we just met here she wouldn’t 
like it. ( whistle heard outside 

Mrs S. What’s that ? 

Mr II A signal. Let me see. (runs to door) A 
false alarm. 

Mrs S. What for ? 

Mr II. Why, if anyone should come, I have Walter in 
the hall to watch. 

Mrs S. I wish you would go to the matinee with me 
to-day. I know you would enjoy the play. 

Mr II I will, my dear, anything you wish. I have al¬ 
ready engaged the seats. 

Mrs S. How did you know I was going. 

Mr II I guessed. 

Enter , Walter, r., hurriedly. 


Walt. Bun, run ! old man Stone is coming ! 

Mrs S. Oh, gracious ! my husband ! If he should find 
you here! 


Mr II. Where shall I hide ? 

Mrs S. Here behind this screen. 

Mr II I will. Capital!—he cannot see me there. 

Mt'S S. And I will run into the fitting room, (exit L. 
Mr H. (from behind screen) Oh, great goodness, I 
am in a box. Locked in a dress-maker’s room ! 


Enter , Col. Stone, r. 

Col. Well, I’ll be darned, if this aint the darndest place 
I ever saw. The steps are worse than in the stock exchange. 
I wonder where ail the ladies are. There is one. (bows to 
dummmie) Good day, miss; is the dress-maker in ? (as¬ 
tonished) Why don’t you talk? This is the first time in 
my life that I ever met a dress-maker who could hold her 
tongue. Hey, lady, talk to me! (seesdummie) Well, I’ll 
be darned ! I knew there was something wrong. (Mp. H. 
groans) What’s that ? I guess it’s the elevator. I will 
go out in the hail and maybe I’ll see some one there. I sup¬ 
pose they have all gone out. (exit r. 


LOCKED IN A DRESSMAKER'S ROOM. 

Mr II. {from behind screen) Oh, no; they are all 

here. 

Enter , Mrs. Stone and Miss Prime, l. 

Miss P. Now, Mrs. Stone, I suppose you can try on 
your basque. 

Mrs &. Where shall I go? 

Miss P. Just go behind the screen. There will no one 
disturb you. 

(Mrs. S. goes behind screen — screams — Mr. H. jumps 
Miss P. What is the matter ? 

Mrs S. Oh, nothing; I just stuck myself with a pin. 

Enter , Col. Stone, r. 

Miss P. {aside) I wonder who that is ? 

Col. Is my wife here ? 

Miss P. No, sir. 

Col. You are mistaken—I know she is here. 

Miss P. I beg your pardon, sir, she is not. 

Col. I say she is, madam. I traced her here. I’ll 
just look over the screen. 

Miss P. How dare you, sir, take such liberties in my 
house ? 

Col. My wife is here—I know she’s here. 

Miss P. There is no one here except a lady trying on 
a dress, and if you attempt to look over that screen I’ll call 
for help, {he goes toward screen) Leave my shop! {screams 
Col. I’ll do it, madam, I’ll see who is behind ihat screen 
if it costs me my fortune. I know there is a man back 
there. 

Miss P. Not if I know it, sir. I will allow nothing of 
the sort in my shop. If you wish to see the lady I will 
have her come out. 

Col. Madam, I am mad! I am boiling over! I will see! 

{looks over — Miss P. screams 
Col. Thunder and lightning ! 

Mr. H. comes from behind screen dressed in flowered wrap¬ 
per, b ig poke bonnet , red flowers and black curls. 

Col. Sold again ! (Miss P. screams — Col. bewildered 
Mr II. The lady is at your service.
